Trae Young was nearly a San Antonio Spur. 

NBA insider Chris Haynes said Thursday that San Antonio mulled a trade for the star Hawks point guard before their blockbuster deal for De’Aaron Fox this week. 

“Before the San Antonio Spurs made the move for De’Aaron Fox, they were considering De’Aaron and they were considering Trae Young,” Haynes said during an appearance on NBA TV. “Trae Young was on the San Antonio Spurs’ radar.”

Young, 26, has spent his entire seven-year career in Atlanta after being drafted No. 5 overall in the 2018 NBA Draft out of Oklahoma.

Kevin Durant is staying in Phoenix as another tumultuous second half and ensuing offseason comes into focus for the Suns.

As the 2025 NBA trade deadline came and went for the Suns Thursday, ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne reported on “NBA Today” that the team had a very awkward shootaround ahead of Wednesday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“I’ll use ‘toxic’,” Shelburne said, describing the Suns’ locker room after a tough trade deadline that saw most players floated in deals. “That shootaround, I heard, was very awkward, very weird because everyone was on pins and needles wondering what they were going to do.”

The 3 p.m. deadline has come and gone, but players can still be on the move.

Those waived by March 1 are still eligible to play for a new team in the postseason -- but for teams like the Knicks, there's a caveat.

Per The Post's Peter Botte:

"Because they are at the first apron for salary cap purposes, however, the Knicks cannot sign anyone in the buyout market whose contract this season was above the 2024-25 mid-level exception of $12.82 million."

Only four teams stood pat at a frantic trade deadline, not being involved in a single move:

- Blazers
- Magic
- Nuggets
- Timberwolves

Twenty-six teams were involved in at least one trade, at least a facilitator.

The rumors were much to do about nothing.

The Suns will not be trading Kevin Durant according to ESPN's Shams Charania. After Durant blocked a trade back to Golden State -- it looks like Phoenix couldn't find a viable trade parter for KD.

The Bucks have acquired guard Kevin Porter Jr. from the Clippers for MarJon Beauchamp.

The Grizzlies have traded guard Marcus Smart and a first-round pick to the Wizards for two second-round picks. Smart is averaging 8.7 points-per-game and will bring a veteran presence to a young Wizards squad.

The Post's Stefan Bondy is hearing that the Knicks are done and won't be making any further moves ahead of Thursday's deadline.

The former Net is on the move again. After acquiring Dennis Schroder on Wednesday in part of the Jimmy Butler deal, Utah has decided to trade him to the Pistons.

The Hawks continue to tinker. Atlanta has traded Cody Zeller and the Rockets second-round pick to Houston. It appears Atlanta is cleaning house and might be leaning into their rebuild.

The Clippers are trading for Bogdan Bogdanovic and three second-round picks from the Hawks in exchange for Terance Mann and Bones Hyland.

Bogdanovic is averaging 10 points-per-game this season and should help Los Angeles stay competitive in the West.
